Yeah, gotdam genius that guy. Saw what no one else saw . . . except, ya know, everybody.

Isn't it going to be a screw job even if Scott ends up being the coach? Like, "we wanted this other guy, but since your still available . . ."

You're right obviously. I guess I was just rushing to make the point that he bowed out kinda early. Like he wasn't chasing records.

He only competed one olympic cycle. Seems to me like he has his own measures of success.

Im going to pretend that all my dreams have come true and that DT is the new coach. What does Smith think about it? How much influence did he have in the process? What's the initial damage re team morale, etc?

For David Taylor? Yes. I'm totally on board with this outright betrayal. Edit: But if OSU doesn't seal the deal with Taylor, then the admin has irreparably undermined Scott.

Is Iowa still a possibilty? No, right?

Bingo. I conflated the two. Thanks for the second time!

Ohh. Thanks for the correction. I always assumed that "135" was just a place holder for the match . . . like they had arranged a catch weight.

I know it was at least one. Perhaps, that had something to do with what looked like Kolat's conditioning issue, I.e moving a bigger guy around took it out of him. But, Kolat often looked like this in his few loses. An archetypal pinner, Kolat would sprint from the gun to put the guy down or at least run up the score. If he couldn't, he would fade quickly. Again, this was rare bc he usually got it over with quick. After reading that (SI?) article (you know the one relating the cattle prod story?), I always wondered if there were environmental causes for the apparent conditioning issues (e.g. the chain-smoking dad).

What do you think happened in the Bono match? Did they ever wrestle agai?

What do teens think about these types of posts? Im just trying to figure out the audience for what seems to me idiocy.

Re $$$: I can't believe that there's that much cash on the table. I just assumed all the stories (e.g. Wood) were fantasies like the "full ride."

He has 7 gold medals. Hubris is a main ingredient in this pie.

Who moves similarly?

All hail the Edge Lord!

You say "disturbingly pornographic," I say "provocatively Rubenesque."

Brutal? Nah, Blasphemy! Boyd was a model Cowboy. Sit the kid who didn't want to be there.

You're right: OSU would have been better off if he had retired a while ago. But I disagree with almost all of your justifications. Re he hung around for the paycheck: Sure, and so does everyone else. But, $$$ huntin' doesnt hurt a coach's chance for success. On the contrary, it's why they do the best they can. They want to win to get a bigger paycheck, no? Re coaching staff: Yeah, Perry isn't at his fighting weight, and so he isn't the best training partner. But, this isn't a coaching staff problem. This is an RTC problem. Traditionally, ass't coaches did fill the role. Today, it seems that the best operation has the lieutenants doing admin and organizational stuff. Re name recognition: Those six world titles are ancient history. But other than Sanderson, who are you comparing him to? Tom Ryan? Zeke Jones? Dresser? Koll? I guess there are some younger guys coaching, but their names aren't Dake, Taylor, Askren, or Burroughs. Re champs: It's been a diaster. I'm with you here. Re he's nice guy: Is he?

I was coaching a Greco team in a dual at Line Mt(?) (It should be noted that we didn't have a Greco team, I.e. we were just there for the Freestyle tournament and figured what the hell). My kid got snapped down into like short offense position. The other guy had a front headlock. My guy goes belly down so as got to get head-pinched or gator-rolled off the mat. Then the mother-f#@$er with the front head-lock does a front flip/head spring with the front head-lock! He bends my guy in half backwards and breaks his back. The whole gym heard the pop, and about 5 of my guys start crying in rage. I had to stop fights left and right and get my kids to the parking lot while the trainers then the paramedics took care of Tyler. He was in the hospital overnight but was ultimately "ok." BTW sorry If you heard this one before. I told it on the other site

That's what I'm worried about

Is anyone else getting a weird Star Wars themed ad on this site?

And that match had some peculiar scoring and/or flukey situations.

Gotcha. Let's agree to agree.

I'm sorry. I tried, but I can't resist following up: he is singing a song about macho-men disfiguring themselves to signal that they are macho to a decidedly non-macho post-punk-electro-Kraftwerk-Gary Nyman track. It's absurd. But "terrible"? It might not be funny (eye of the beholder, and the like), but didn't it achieve the purpose, I.e. to be ridiculously stupid? Edit: isn't it just beneath contempt?
